Overview

2.75G mobile communication technology (EDGE/CDMA 1x) has become widely used of industrials and utilities in recent years and many customers are seeking reliable, flexible and cost-effective data channel to build their information system. Many applications such as ATM, POS, SCADA and surveillance system will require data channels covered all country; this brings a bright future for EDGE and CDMA 1x data networks applications.

Requirements towards information system are varied because of different features of numerous industrial applications. Mobile telecom service providers are required to provide industrial application solutions not only meeting common specifications and also individual special ones. Hence, garefowl co-operates with mobile service providers to design products and network configurations suitable to industrial end users¡¯ individualized applications. Garefowl has developed embedded, advanced and reliable GF Series (EDGE/CDMA 1x) router for the applications.

EDGE network theoretically can provide a maximum bandwidth 384Kbps, actually; it works at 200~250Kbps bandwidth (it depends on service provider¡¯s operation policy). As we know, EDGE is packet based network which provides TCP/IP communication channel.

Same as GPRS network, EDGE network can provide a maximum bandwidth up to 384Kb/s and actual transmitting and receiving bandwidth reaches 200Kb/s.

Since Garefowl has many years experience of mobile data communication, it proves that Garefowl products are widely applied and work stably.

GF Series router is a dedicated ideal data transmission channel for industrial applications. It can be operated at EDGE or CDMA 1x network by selecting a different radio module.

Features Functions

Non host support: Normally, EDGE Modem can be connected to a PC, and then dial an access number manually; it utilizes the PC resources to process the data transmission and protocol conversion. GF Series router is an embedded platform built-in with a processor, RTOS, protocol stack and application software. It works automatically without host PC.

Always online: GF Series Router will automatically attach to EDGE network When it is powered on, and then setup a transmission channel.

Toll on traffic: GF Series Router can be configured to work always online; it is charged according to traffic.

High speed: Maximum EDGE bandwidth can be 384kb/s,only 200¡«250kb/s can be reached at actual application.

Routing and NAT functions

GF Series router provides routing table and NAT function; it is an ideal solution for branch office connection or SOHO application.
